readchar.readchar() seems to return bytes instead of a string #37
Description
The documentation for readchar states:
Reads the next char from
stdin, returning it as a string with length 1.
However, it appears to return a byte sequence:
example.py:
import readchar
print("Press a key")
pressed = readchar.readchar()
print(type(pressed))
Output:
$ python example.py
Press a key
<class 'bytes'>
This is using
$ pip show readchar
